JoinScouting respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and shared when you register for scouting events through this website.
When you register for scouting events through this website, we may collect information such as:
This information is used solely to coordinate scouting activities, organize events, and communicate with participants regarding the events they register for.
If you provide your phone number and consent to receive text messages, we may send SMS notifications related to scouting events, reminders, scouting activities, or follow-up communication.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. You may reply HELP for assistance.
We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Personal information may be shared with the scout unit organizing the event in order to coordinate participation and communicate event details.
District or council organizations may have access to aggregated or summary information about events, such as attendance totals or activity reports, but no personally identifiable information is shared with them.
Aggregated information cannot be used to identify individual participants.
We may use advertising and analytics tools, including Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API, to understand how families interact with our event and interest forms and to measure the effectiveness of our outreach. When a parent or guardian submits a form, limited parent/guardian contact information, such as email address or phone number, may be processed in hashed form and sent to Meta for ad measurement, attribution, and conversion matching. We do not use youth email addresses or youth phone numbers for advertising matching. These tools may also process information such as page URL, browser information, IP address, and event activity, such as viewing an event page or completing a registration.
We take reasonable steps to protect the information submitted through this website and limit access to authorized individuals responsible for organizing scouting events.
Information submitted through event registrations may be retained for administrative purposes related to scouting activities, including event coordination and follow-up communication.
Scouting events involve youth participants. Registration information is typically submitted by parents or guardians responsible for the participant.
This Privacy Policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes to the website or applicable practices. The most recent version will always be posted on this page.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how information is used, please contact the scout unit organizing the event through the website.
JoinScouting provides tools that allow local scouting units to organize events and communicate with participants. Each scouting unit is responsible for the events they organize and the communications they send through the platform.
